Do you make regular image backups of your system disk?
Time for a new survey!
In general, all operating systems (Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc.) are addressed.

Laptop USB port broken, what to do?
Byhelfer5
Since today, my USB port no longer recognizes any hard drives. The other port recognizes the same drives, so it must be the port. What can I do? PS I don't know much about PCs or laptops, so please explain things in a simple way.

SSD hard drive?
Bytonetone
Hello! I would like to get an SSD hard drive, external, as a second drive so to speak. Or rather as a replacement for my sticks. Does anyone of you have experience with cheap SSD drives? For the 4TB drives, I see a price range of 35 to 100 euros. Are the cheap drives now…
All machines in the LAN are synchronized daily with a replicator. This includes system partitions and disks, and also mobile devices – it is easier to sync the complete systems instead of selectively selected directory sub-hierarchies.
From the replicator – all files of all systems – backups are created daily. These are diluted over time to keep a manageable number of increments.
In addition, the systems that make sense create hourly (read-only) snapshots of file systems that support efficient snapshots. These are thus protected from data corruption and can be simply reset to a previous version. This also includes the system plate on the systems. This protects against hardware failures, at least in non-RAID systems, but not.
This response option was selected because it is synchronized with the replicator based on file and not on image. In order to protect against synchronizing open or changing files during synchronization, a snapshot is first generated before synchronizing on the devices that support snapshots, which is then synchronized and then removed again.
Make sure you have made the right choice.
Using your spelling, this would have to be “filebackup”. 😉
“A filebackup for my important data is enough for me”? This is not true, because system files are also saved. At first I had “no compassion”, but then I left.
A calming feeling of being able to reset his system in case of the case. A system backup is just as important as security on the Internet..

I don’t care about system files, which can be restored by repair or reinstall .
Work data Images and documents are continuously mirrored to another hard disk when changing. And at weekly intervals an external backup is updated.
Smartphone data will be synchronized with the cloud every morning.
Because I only use Linux, I don’t need a complete system backup.
Since Linux exactly separates the system area from the user area, a backup of /home or even only from /home/
From the system area a backup of /etc is useful. After a new installation you can see what was before, after all you can find many settings in plain text, really as text.
Before I make a complete backup from my system, I change to NixOS, and just save my system content with git.
After that, I had strictly not asked.
I did not speak of complete System but only from the systemdata carriers – the one on which Windows/Linux/Mac-OS.
“Complete” would actually be an image backup of ALL disks.
Little difference. 😉
Linux is set up so quickly, that’s not worth it. 😀
A really nice Nerd response. Thank you!
True, but laziness prevails;)
Faulty would not make backup 😀
Hello mchawk777,
I’m sure everything that matters is double. Cloud and twice on different disks.
Replace Windows I did in 15 minutes, that’s okay.
Have a nice day!

Right: Windows restarting is recommended.
But last time I sat approx. 5 evenings in front of my computer until I had configured everything as I need. Personally, that would be too much time. 😅
Thanks for the answer.
Linux > Windows
Well, then there are updates and >10 programs that should actually bring a 200€ expensive operating system, but not. for example a private-sphere-friendly browser, a usable office suite and more. Windows is “naked” so. 😛
I’ll take the time. Too often I must not thank God 🙂
15 minutes I’m looking for the “Please wait a moment” screen 😀
Most of the time, I’ll get it back.
Right, it’s only every ~6 months from experience. Is not so common 😉
Your question, however, only makes sense.
Because when creating backups, not only does the question arise Yes/No, but also the question When and How often.
For me, the system backup applies to the When and How often the following:
Jop, usually every two weeks. My files are also synchronized with my HomeServer all the time. This, of course, also has mechanisms to ensure that the data is not lost.
Data backup is mandatory.
Then a short click on an answer would be nice. 😉
What do I want with system/program data? I’d rather save the space. I don’t make backups of data that I can easily retrieve.
I’d just drag all this stuff around unnecessarily.
